Summary Introduction
To explain:
The reason why vestigial structures are important to evolutionary biologists.
Introduction:
The vestigial organ is those structures that have no function in the body. However, they are homologous to functional structures in species that are closely related. They are important to provide evidence for the ancestry of species.

Draw a protein that is embedded in a membrane (a transmembrane protein), label the lipid bilayer and the protein. Identify the areas of
the lipid bilayer that are hydrophobic and hydrophilic.
Draw a membrane with two transporters: a proton pump transporter that uses ATP to generate a proton gradient, and a second
transporter that moves glucose by secondary active transport (cartoon-like is ok). It will be important to show protons moving in the
correct direction, and that the transporter that is powered by secondary active transport is logically related to the proton pump.

Affected individuals show spots of abnormal skin pigmentation and non-cancerous tumors that can interfere with the nervous system and cause blindness. Some tumors can convert to a cancerous form. i The recessive form is a normal protein - in other words, no neurofibromatosis.moovi A typical pedigree for a family that carries neurofibromatosis is shown below. Note that carriers are not indicated with half-colored shapes in this chart. Use the letter "N" to indicate the dominant neurofibromatosis allele, and the letter "n" for the normal allele.
